It's just so bizarre how strongly the Google product people continue to insist that this change is beneficial to users when so many users themselves simultaneously insist that it's not. Combined with the fact that their explanation is dubious at best (i.e. www is not a technically a "special case"), I find it very hard to believe they do not have additional, confidential reasoning for making this change.
